THE NEW YORK HOT LIST

From foodie hotspots in Brooklyn to Manhattan’s coolest museums, here are some favourite places for your next trip to the city that never sleeps.

EAT
1 HOTEL BROOKLYN BRIDGE
Designed by local artists, the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge follows a seriously sustainable ethos; its upcycled materials and artwork tell a story of the borough’s past, while the roof terrace is must for lunch in the summer, offering the best views of the city and the meanest margaritas in town.

DRINK
THE BLOND
Sultry lounge The Blond, outfitted with jewel-toned velvet couches and antique mirror columns is our teams go-to for a post-show drink.

SEE
THE WHITNEY
Situated at the foot of the High Line in the Meat Packing District, the Renzo Piano-designed Whitney Museum features an expansive glass and steel lobby stretching along Gansevoort Street. This spring, look our for Vida Americana, an exhibition which looks at the profound impact the Mexican muralists had on the art world.

EAT
PAPER MOON GIARDINO
Paper Moon has found its latest home in a 200-year-old neoclassical palazzo square in the centre of the city’s Golden Rectangle fashion district. Outdoors, a sunny courtyard is the perfect place to enjoy their exquisite seafood menu. But come fashion week, make sure you’re on the list.

DRINK
DRY MILANO
Dry Milano is a hot spot for both classic and creative cocktails. This trendy industrial space, packed with hip locals, has a pizza joint in the back if you are feeling indulgent.

SEE
VILLA NECCHI CAMPIGLIO
Villa Necchi Campiglio is and incredible 1930s residence was once the city’s It party house for Italian elites. Relatively young by European standards, the villa was built between 1932 and 1935 by Milanese architect Piero Portaluppi and was was captured in the Luca Guadagnino film, I am Love, starring Tilda Swinton.

THE PARIS HOT LIST

We’ll always have Paris, naturally. But now is the time to update your little black book for the city, adding fresh lunch spots and hip hotels – as selected by our fashion buying .

EAT
BALAGAN
Balagan (which means hullabaloo in Hebrew) is a great destination for any type of celebration, so long as you come with a sense of humour to match your tastebuds. No fashion week dinner is complete without the Crash Snickers dessert - don’t leave without tasting it.

SEE
THE CENTRE POMPIDOU
The Centre Pompidou is certainly a unique-looking building. Most Parisians have warmed to the industrial, Lego-like exterior that caused a scandal when it opened in 1977. Look out for the upcoming tribute to Henri Matisse on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of his birth this May.

SHOP
LE BON MARCHÉ
If it’s luxe, you can probably buy it at Le Bon Marché, Paris’s oldest and most iconic department store. Look out for their Kure Bazaar Nail Bar which has ecofriendly treatments for beautiful nails.
